Yummy Homemade Granola!

I've found my new favorite granola recipe, and it is so delicious! Plus, since it's homemade you know everything that's going into it (yep, I am reducing my processed food intake as per my New Year's resolutions!). Even better, you can tweak it as you like.

I love this recipe, but use ground flax seed - I've read our bodies have a lot of trouble digesting them whole - and dried cherries. I also add a little coconut oil, but that's basically because another favorite recipe for granola calls for it and we like the flavor.
